Deep Why Bell Winter

Whoa, what happened to all the colors? It feels so cold in here!

The blog decor has changed itself to fit the season. How mysterious!

Just look at Nanashi there in the banner. You can see her breath!

Yeah, I think it's time to turn the heat on...

Story: MIA: Misfortune of an Inverse Angel [UPDATE CH. 3]

[insert cover art]

Chapter 3 is now up! This chapter contains a fight scene and a bit of nightmare fuel. Please enjoy!

A story inspired by a character inspired by a random sketch. I think it was over a year ago that I first drew the angel that is now known as Nairé, and her personality has been shaping ever since.

Summary

An angel spawned with upturned wings is unceremoniously tossed out of Heaven. Many more misfortunate events follow.

#7: Provocative Predicament

Anonymous said...

What do you think about Gabe drawing you in a provocative predicament?

October 24, 2011 10:29 PM

Ah, it's a request from a certain friend of mine. Luckily, I managed to catch Celare in a bikini just the other day. Did you know the future has virtual beaches in their tanning salons? Glorious full-color ecchi after the break. 

Flutterwonder ~Fluttering Wonders Vocal Mix

Due to the title of this blog, I am pretty much required to post about anything involving Flutterwonder by PinkiePieSwear.

That said, I would have posted this song anyways even if this blog was not Deep, Why, Bell and Wonder.

Such a fantastic mix with the angelic vocals of Miu! Be sure to check out the rest of her channel; it's all gold! 

Be sure to put on headphones!

Story: Demons Like Us

[upskirt]

I started this story for creative writing class. It ended up being my final paper.
And then I thought about where it could go for awhile, and continued it a year later.
Oddly enough, Nanashi, the catalyst for the second arc, was inspired by a dream. Without her, I don't think the story would even be going anywhere!

Summary

Shyn and Rika Ashati set out on their first unsupervised demon hunt in the Netherworld. The mark is easy enough, but the situation soon goes terribly wrong! If they can escape with their lives, will they ever be the same? And what of this nameless girl?

#6: Thanksgiving (?)

Ahhh, that was quite the Thanksgiving dinner. My southern relatives really know how to cook up a feast! If I recall correctly, there was a Thanksgiving question in the mail stack...ah, here it is! And it's from my mom.

momfan said...

Who will Luna have Thanksgiving dinner with? And what will they have?

November 6, 2011 1:57 PM  

I think this answers both questions. Left to right: Shyn, Luna, Cross, Nanashi, Rika.

 Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving, whether it was tasty like mine or off-the-wall like Luna's! It doesn't matter what you eat, but rather who you eat it with.

For anyone outside the US, I hope your Thursday was just awesome.

Moonplot Art #2! Vertex and Cupcakes

Engraved on the blog is a finely designed image of Vertex the royal pony by Thattagen. Vertex is making an intimidating gesture.

Yes, it's time for more art! I love Dwarf Pony Fortress. Because of it, I will never run out of things to draw!

Flutterwonder Piano Cover FOR REAL THIS TIME

Yep, I managed to fix the sound. 

It was all a matter of reconfiguring the mic.

And some cleanup in audacity.

It's not the best, but please enjoy...

Of Griffons, Wizards, and Complete Jerks

All too often we come across people we don't agree with. Braggarts, bullies, total jerks, and the like. But, the way we see them in real life is somehow different from the way we see similar characters on tv. I wonder why?

Yes, this is a post about ponies. Please restrain your tl;dr...

#5: Dicing

Here's an old question for you, Luna!

Luna,
How many vegetables can you dice in 3 seconds?
~Heireau

Kneesock! Meido! Pad-Chief!

 

Incidentally, Luna, you do look like a certain time maid today. You know Halloween is over, right?

#4: Halloween!

The mail is piling up! Aaaaaahhhh!
But here's a relevant one...

momfan said...

What is your favorite costume to wear for Halloween?

October 13, 2011 12:57 PM 

Actually, all of them went trick-or-treating this year. I managed to repossess most of their kit-kats and reese's.

As for their costumes, well...see for yourself! All of them tried to wear something at least a little related to themselves. For example, Luna is dressed as Princess Luna.

Bottom Right to Top Left: Neo, Reisen, No-Face, Princess Luna (and Abacus), Sephiroth, and the Grim Reaper.

(This is gonna take forever to finish, and by then Halloween will be long gone. I'll probably put up a finished version later.)

What is This Nonsense of a Blog Title Anyways?

Are you confused by the blog's title? It was actually suggested by some friends, but here is what it's based on...

And the remix!

Really, it's the closest you'll get to vocal trance with ponies. Or is it?

???!!

Moonplot's Flag

Engraved on the blog is a masterfully designed image of the alicorn pony deity Princess Luna by Fetchbeer. Luna is plotting.

In case you were wondering, this is Moonplot's official flag. Now you know where the name comes from.
We commissioned this flag from Fetchbeer the Zebra in the Spring of 109. That is, he just happened to have it on hoof when I asked him. Zebras are weird.

Vacancy.com Scholarship Entry: Apartment Investigation!

 

It’s probably no secret that I’m totally broke, right? You were already thinking it, weren’t you? College students and money are found together as often as eggplants and pepperoni pizza. If someone asked me to buy an eggplant, I wouldn’t even know where to begin, but I could probably buy a college student for only a few dollars.

Even better, I could win a scholarship, and buy a college student textbooks with that money. It just so happens that Vacancy.com is giving out a $500 scholarship; all I have to do is pick an ideal apartment from their site and blog about it.

Luckily, I have a bit of help. Celare Arineo, the blog’s resident Space Cop from Five Hundred Years in the Future, has eagerly volunteered to take a quick trip to nearby Nashville to scope out an apartment of my choosing. Her trip won’t cost a thing, because she’s from the future.

Celare will be touring Biltmore Apartments, which I found rather quickly through Vacancy.com

Moonplot Art! Crunchi and Grindstone

This is a masterwork engraving of Crunchi the Macepony, engraved in the autumn of 2011 by Thattagen. Crunchi is striking an intimidating pose.

Hey. Have you read the Moonplot Journal yet? Cause this art is based on it.

Among the ponies of Moonplot, Crunchi is arguably the best warrior. This is not due to training or skill, though. She is the best through sheer force of will. She is always the first into battle, and always strikes without hesitation. She will often land dozens of hits before her companions even land one.

The ponies started calling her Crunchi after she chased an attacking giantess around a nearby cave, bashing it all the while with her wooden mace. While the hits were ineffective, they distracted the giantess so her companions could bring it down. Afterwards, she upgraded to an iron mace, and has gotten several kills.

Another day, she got bitten on the rear by a giant capybara, leaving her with a jagged scar. Immediately afterwards, she went after every capybara on the mountain, without even going back to heal.

This is an engraving of Grindstone the Mason, engraved in the autumn of 2011 by Brokenhero. Grindstone is lamenting.

And here we have Grindstone, an ordinary mason pony. That is, he was until a minotaur burst into the dining hall, wreaking havoc on anypony still left inside. Once it stepped back outside, he cornered it with a few other ponies and bashed its face in with a well-placed buck. But two of his friends died in the attack, and he went into a tantrum shortly afterwards. The victims were a horse (not a pony) and a door.

Unfortunately, Grindstone is no longer with us. Once Moonplot became a barony, the Baron ordered the captain of the guard to punish all outstanding criminals. The captain swung his iron crossbow a little too hard, and broke poor Grindstone. May he rest in peace.

The captain of the guard was removed from his post shortly after.

Pony Fortress: Moonplot

The top layer of Moonplot. Every p is a pony.

I'll start this post by assuming some of my readers don't know what Dwarf Fortress is, or even what the above screenshot represents. Basically, DF is a fantasy sim-type game where you start with seven dwarves and attempt to carve out the most awesome fortress you can. You can dig deep into the earth, or build towers reaching into the sky. All the while, you must defend your fort from invaders, such as goblins, trolls, and more. Eventually, it all comes crashing down, but that's okay, because "Losing is fun!" Don't let the ASCII graphics fool you. This game is awesome.

Now, replace the dwarves with ponies. Ponies are about four times as large as dwarves, and even unskilled ones can deal  with most threats with ease. Goblins have been replaced by evil ponies with bat wings and tentacles and such. Seeing how violent they get is just one part of the awesomeness of this mod. (combat in the game is described in detailed combat logs, but happens in real time)

At the urging of some friends of mine, I have decided to start my own pony fortress, and to chronicle everything that happens within. Currently, I am at the end of the fortress's third year, and the fortress is so far thriving! There have been many ups and downs, a tragic minotaur attack, stone shortages, floodings, bad dreams (force reset!), badpony attacks, cupcakes (so sweet and tasty), and business.

But don't take my word for it. Read the journal for yourself:
Part 1: Spring 106 - Spring 109

Welcome to Moonplot! Enjoy your stay.

#3: Miss Luna

Mail call! Get it while it's hot!

Khatru said...

Various supernatural girls: Is it stressful hanging around here when that (very nice and pleasant) Luna lady is all kill-happy about "weird" stuff?

October 18, 2011 9:03 PM 

Ah, one for the more "unique" ladies. What do you think, girls?

#2: CAT PLANET CAT PLANET CAT PLANET

Nairé, we've got a question for you! It's not even about your wings ahhh don't cry! Here, let's see what it says!

Jim the Cactus said...

Naire, have you ever been to the cat planet?

October 14, 2011 11:33 PM

Click here for flashy!

 She's absolutely right. Why are there even crows there? They are not cats.

Fluttershy is Hardcore

A leaf in the wind~

This shy Pegasus cares for animals on the outskirts of Ponyville. Everypony adores her for her sweet and gentle personality. Her greatest wish is to be a tree.

Here she is murdering a bear.

Oh, the humanity equuity!

If she ever shows an intense love for soccer, I will die.

#1: Higher Learning

Hey, Nanashi, the first one is for you!

Dear Nanashi,
Can I get a shot of you expressing your appreciation for higher learning?

Elevation is the key, Nanashi. The higher the learning, the better!

Ask a Question!

• Post your question in the comments here.
• Make sure you specify who you're asking. 
• Questions will go through a magical filter, so no funny business!

Pseudo-Askbloggery

"Um...You can ask if you want to..."

The blog continues to evolve!

I've just added a custom "ask" button and a character page.

What are these for, you ask?

Surely you have heard of those "Ask-a-pony" Tumblrs, right? Everypony and their mom has one. You ask a question, and the artist answers it with a picture or series of pictures. I've heard it's great art practice!

So I want to do something like that. Simply click that button to the left and ask one of the girls anything (almost anything...). I'll pick the questions I like and answer with sketches!

Please don't start shipping them together, though. They're not even in the same stories!

EDIT: To circumvent the email issue,  all questions are now directed to a certain post. Just comment there and your voice shall be heard!

New Banner!

"How come I'm not up there?"

I've updated the banner from that atrocious placeholder.
It's meant to indicate at a glance the blog's content.
That is, girls, music, writing, and ponies.
And by girls, I of course mean more ponies.
...
I meant to say drawings!

I'll make a tab thingy once I get the standalone pages worked out. Though I wish you could just click on the icons on the banner...

NO WAY THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE

No it isn't. Stop that. (Image courtesy of KirbyM)

I got my first physics exam back today.

The average score was something like 45%.

I was worried for a few minutes.

But I saw that I got a 92%! 

I missed the question with the monkey.
Pardon me while I dance.

Welcome!

Mmrah? This is new...

Hello, and welcome to my personal blog! This is the perfect space to centralize all my creative efforts and ideas. And so I shall!

Don't mind the kitty there, she's just getting used to the place. I drew her as my 100th upload for Deviantart, but I got distracted and ended up uploading a different 100th instead. So now she stares at the empty banner. Maybe she'd like to climb up?

You can expect to see more stories, drawings, and even music from me in the future. Stay tuned!
